Radiology (X-ray)
An X-ray is produced when a small amount of radiation passes through the body and is captured on film, video or computer. Board-certified radiologists provide supervision and guidance for the diagnostic and fluoroscopic procedures performed by nationally registered technologists.
CT Scan
Computed Tomography (CT) Scans are used when physicians suspect patients have medical problems not easily detected from a physical exam. This technology allows physicians to capture an image from many different angles as the X-ray source rotates around the patients.
Our 16-slice CT imaging system creates 16 high-resolution images as thin as a credit card in a single rotation. After combining the images to form a three-dimensional view of a patient's body, Radiologists can evaluate the results and diagnose illnesses in a variety of areas like the spine, head, abdomen and chest. Our 16-slice CT can capture images head-to-toe in less than a minute allowing for quicker, more accurate scanning and faster patient CT exams.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The highest quality MRI diagnostic information available is provided by our 1.5 Tesla short bore magnet. This procedure uses a magnet linked to a computer to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. Our advanced registered technologists specialize in MR imaging and are committed to making you very satisfied with your experience.
Ultrasound
From the neonate through the oldest patients, our sonographers provide diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to assist your physician in keeping you healthy or returning you to health. Ultrasound is a test that bounces sound waves off tissue and organs and translates the sound waves into sonograms (pictures) rather than using radiation (X-ray technology).
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine allows us to record radiation in organs, bones and tissues from the inside out. Radiopharmaceuticals are injected, swallowed or inhaled by a patient and the internal emissions are recorded on a computer screen or film. One of the most popular services provided in this department is nuclear cardiology with our cardiac stress testing.
Women’s Imaging
One in eight American women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Comprehensive routine and diagnostic services are available to women of all ages in a setting that is warm and supportive. Our services include mammography, breast ultrasound and bone density testing.
Bone Density
Bone densitometry, the test for evaluation of osteoporosis, has become the gold standard for measuring the density of bones.

- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
